Social Entrepreneurship – Implications for Management Practice
The state’s reduced role in the provision of social services and the
increasing entrepreneurial approach of third sector organizations have led
to the rise of “social entrepreneurship” which has become a “practical
response to unmet societal needs”. Social entrepreneurs address unmet
societal needs by entrepreneurial means, putting an emphasis on societal
value creation first and on financial value creation second.
At the same time different societal actors ask entrepreneurs and
corporations to manage more responsibly and to increase the social and
environmental performance of their enterprises. This raises the question
of what mainstream entrepreneurs, managers and organizations can learn
from social entrepreneurs. This question builds the backbone for this
special issue.
As research in the field of social entrepreneurship is in an early
development stage and empirical research has been limited to single case
study observations, this special issue is particularly interested in a
thorough review of research to date, empirically verified claims which
lead to recommendations for mainstream theories of entrepreneurship and
organizational learning as well as management practice. Topics to be
considered include, but are not limited to the following:
• Review of the academic field on social entrepreneurship
• The measures of success of social entrepreneurship
• Profitable social entrepreneurship
• Innovation and social entrepreneurship
• The Enabling Environment for Social Entrepreneurs (e.g.
institutional support by Ashoka, Schwab, Skoll and others)
• Comparative case studies of social entrepreneurs
• Social entrepreneurship and organizational learning
